Embrace the Pain

Never ever try to
escape from the grind of pains.

Take it, embrace it.

If the neurons are strong, and you're gritty,
 you will become numb to it;
Otherwise you will succumb.

Try and meet an end .
As the great teacher says-
The end defines it all.

Here is a write from you again that is so profound and such a poignant comment on pain. Yes, we must try to resolve those painful issues rather than avoid, deny or circumvent the problems... And like we believe..."This too shall pass..." and it will all end. Thank you for sharing the truth

[Anand Sehgal]

yes, that is a favourite of mine too -- " this too shall pass"

[Sarai Lee]

There is a philosophy that in order to be at peace you should experience all things, including pain, completely and wholly---embracing them---and then let it go away from you. That's what this made me think of. Well done!

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks so much Sarai :) getting used to is the key !

"Try and meet an end .
As the great teacher says-
The end defines it all."---I love this stanza, even by itself.
However, I hate pain and embracing it is not something I wish to do.
Healing is what I am interested in as I go through life, and dealing with pain in the most swift way possible.

[Anand Sehgal]

but you know what.. the pain keeps on chasing us !

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Yes, it in life is does and I try to avoid it whenever possible. :)

[Joiedevivre]

YES!! so true, nothing to be afraid of, i learnt this also some time ago, when you embrace and feel the full impact of the pain, it transmutes into bliss. As always, love your philosophical poetic musings dear friend :)

[Anand Sehgal]

you spoke my mind :) thanks :)

Love you

[Ru Banerjee]

Profound and thoroughly poetic in its precision as well as in its expressions. helps a lot to grasp the essence of pain, and live with it like a lifelong companion.

[Anand Sehgal]

Thanks a lot Didi for your kind comments :)

[Frieda P]

Interesting theory, must be my problem, I run kicking and screaming from the pain of it all! Profound read Anand.

[Anand Sehgal]

if you stay unfazed, things get a little tidier I think :)

[MsJewel]

There is truth and wisdom to your words Anand. Embracing pain, overcoming pain results in a stronger person. If one has never felt pain, how can they truly appreciate the beauty of happiness. Wonderful poem my friend.

[Ruth]

Intelligently voiced...the end is often the beginning if we are brave enough to accept and embrace...thought provoking :) x

[Anand Sehgal]

Pain is what I always do try to embrace. More often it a beautiful muse if you pour it down into words. On how you handle pain depends on you, yourself. There will always be two choices to go, either in to the darkness of grief or in the path to the light of acceptance. Pain is a great teacher, if you know how to understand it with your heart then you're in the way to healing. Surviving each pain makes you stronger, i know it. Very nice piece my friend...

[Anand Sehgal]

wonderfully explained you. thanks a lot my friend :)

[Pax]

Your most welcome my friend....

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Is it trying to say there is no pain where fear does not exist.

[Anand Sehgal]

It says that meet the pain, if you pass through , you have a stronger stake towards the life.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Oh Ok then with true faith is possible to walk over hot coals

[Anand Sehgal]

yes. precisely so :)
